HEEL-SEAT WHEELING AND BEATING-U]? MACHINE.

Application filed September 13, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Dunno MATTIoLI, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Heel-Seat Wheeling and Beating-Up Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates, generally speaking, to shoe machinery and has more particular relation to that class of machines designed for wheeling and beating-up the heel seat of a shoe. The principal object of the present invention is to provide a strong, durable, efficient and comparatively simple and inexpensiv machine in which there is present upon a single, driven shaft, combined devices for simultaneously wheeling and beatingaip the heel seat of a shoe. Other and further objects of the present invention reside in the providing of general details of construction and in the providing of certain new and novel combinations of parts as will hereinafter more fully appear.

The invention consists of the improve ments hereinafter described and finally claimed.

The nature, characteristic features and scope of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof and in which Figure 1, is a top or plan view of-a machine embodying features of the invention,

Fig. 2, is a view in side elevation thereof,

Fig. 3, is a fragmentary view in end elevation,

Fig. 4:, is a fragmentary view, principally sectioned, illustrating details of construction,

Fig. 5, is a view in section taken upon the line 55 of Fig. I.

Fig. 6, is a face view of a device calculated to promote a polish, and

Fig. 7, is a similar view of a slightly different form of device calculated to give a pronounced beat.

In the drawings there is disclosed a physical embodiment of the invention, the same being designed in a manner best known to me at this time for practising the invention. Obviously details of construction and gen eral arrangement of parts may be changed without departing from the fair spirit and scope of the a pended claims.

Referring now to the specific form of ma- Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 50,488.

chine shown in the drawings, 10, designates a supporting frame or stand provided at its top with overhanging bearings 1112. liotatably mounted in said bearings is a horizontal shaft 13, a pulley l i, being present thereon for driving purposes. One end of this shaft 13, is extended an appreciable distance beyond the bearing 11, and as clearly shown in Figs. el, and 5, at its extreme end, is of reduced diameter thus providing a shoulder 15. Intermediate said shoulder 15, and the end of said shaft is an eccentric 16, preferably formed integral with the shaft. This eccentric 16, is for reciprocating vertically a wheeling device to be presently described.

The extreme end of shaft 13, has fixed thereto, as by a set screw 17, so as to rotate therewith a device 18. As clearly shown in Figs. 6, and 7, two forms of such devices 18, may be interchangeably used upon a machine. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the flat face of the conical portion of the device is provided with a continuous annular rim 19. Such rim is calculated to promote a good polish rather than a pronounced beat. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the rim 20, is flattened at intervals, as at 21. Such flattened portions are calculated to provide for a pronounced beat.

Snugly fitting between the shoulder 15,-

other end which is provided with a bearing 26, is loosely supported upon a stud 27, which stud is arranged in parallelism with shaft 13, and is carried by a bracket 28, bolted to standard 10, see Fig. 3. The particular construction of said bracket and the mode of application of said stud will presently appear. Mounted upon the ring 22, and snugly fitting between the holder 24:, and the face of device 18, is the wheeling de vice 29, the fiat face of which opposes the flat face of device 18. The wheeling device is provided peripherally with a rim 30, which is serrated 0r notched, see Fig. 5.

Taking up now the construction of bracket 28, and its complemental parts, it will be observed that the top thereof, is forked as at 31. The tine, 32, of such forked portion is slotted laterally as at 33, within which.

slotted portion is accommodated the threaded end of the stud 27, a nut 34, being present for clamping the stud to place. A fixed collar 85, is also present between said tine 32, and the before described holder 24;, and a removable collar 36, is secured to said stud upon the opposite side of said holder 24, see Fig. 1. Thus the stud may be adjusted laterally of the machine by manipulation of nut 34, as occasion my demand. Projected from the lower end of bracket 28, is a second stud 87 secured as by a bolt as shown, and provided at its free end with an enlarged portion 88, having an aperture therethrough for adjustably holding a shoe rest 39. A set screw 40, is present for retaining the shoe rest in adjusted position. As shown theshoe rest terminates in an angular portion in juxtaposition to the combined beating and wheeling devices.

In operation a shoe is manually moved with respect to the shoe rest so that as the heating device and wheeling device simultaneously operate upon the shoe, the heel seat is properly finished in an expeditious, eflicient and inexpensive manner, the beating-up device, it will be understood, rotating continuously and the wheeling device reciprocating vertically, but not rotating.

The device forming the subject matter of this application discloses novel means for operating the outer dressing devices of Figs. 6 and 7, and the inner dressing device 29.

What I claim is: 4

1. A machine of the class described embracing in combination a driven shaft i11- cluding an eccentric, a beating-up device rotatable with said shaft and a wheeling device operatively mounted with respect to the eccentric of said shaft for vertical reciprocation in juxtaposition to the beating-up device.

2. A machine of the class described embracing in combination a driven shaft including an eccentric, a beating-up device rotatable with said shaft, a slotted ring operatively mounted with respect to said eccentric, means for retaining said ring in position for vertical reciprocation, and a wheeling device loosely fitted over said ring between said beating-up device and said means.

3. A machine of the class described embracing in combination a driven shaft including an eccentric, a fixed stud, a beating up device rotatable with said shaft, a ring justably secured to said bracket, a beating up device rotatable with said shaft, a ring having a slot therein operatively mounted with respect to said eccentric, a holder pivoted at one end to said stud and clamped at its other end to said ring for maintaining in operative position for vertical reciprocation said ring, a wheeling device loosely mounted upon said ringbetween the beat ing-up device and said holder and a shoe rest operatively secured with respect to said bracket.

A machine of the class described enibracing in combination, a stand provided with an overhang bearing, a driven shaft including an eccentric supported in said bearing, a bracket fixed to said stand, a stud carried by the bracket in parallelism with said shaft, a slotted ring operatively mounted with respect to said eccentric, means between said stud and said ring for maintaining the ring in position for vertical reciprocation, a wheeling device operative upon said ring, a beating-up device rotatable with said shaft in juxtaposition to the wheeling device and a shoe rest operatively secured with respect to said bracket and extended to a position immediately adjacent the combined wheeling and beating-up devices.

6. A machine of the class described embracing, in combination, a driven shaft including an eccentric; an outer dressing device rotatable with said shaft; a slotted ring operativ'elv mounted with. respect to said eccentric: means for retaining said ring in position for vertical reciprocation; and an inner dressing device fitting loosely over said ring between said means and the outer dressing device.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name. i
